Thank you to everyone who wrote, and my apologies for inadvertently reviving a topic that had already been done to death.
The case I mentioned was not purely imaginary, inasmuch as I have seen examples of the kind of thing that I described (i.e. bookmarks accompanied by tags/keywords in the form of static text rather than links). However, I am unable to find any current examples of this. About the closest I can come are some scientific bibliographies, where non-link keywords still seem to occur, but this kind of use is not an exact fit for 'xfolk' anyway.
More to the point, I recognize the advantages of rel-tag and of keywords-as-links in general. It also makes my job - I'm converting a bookmark manager library to output 'xfolk' - easier. I will stop encouraging backwards behavior ("Unlinked tags are _so_ Web 1.0"), and let my users learn to love rel-tag.
Thanks, Angus _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
